J'étais ptêtre UN PEU heureuse de réussir cette transition qui me casse les noix depuis des siècles. Bon j'ai réussi à tenir la pose d'arrivée qu'une fois parmi mes 24553680 tentatives mais ... • Quelques conseils qui aident beaucoup je trouve : - penser à transférer son poids vers l'avant plutôt qu'à descendre. - coller le genou contre sa poitrine au maximum avec d'essayer de descendre. - ralentir un maximum la transition si possible en contrôlant la descente. Vous voulez atterrir pas tomber. Et quand la descente est trop rapide je trouve ça vraiment difficile de garder l'équilibre dans la posture d'arrivée ( Eka Pada Koundinyasana II ) - Garder la jambe du dessus (ma jambe droite) pliée dans un premier temps et la tendre une fois que les bras sont en angle droit -pensez chaturanga pour votre posture d'arrivée. bras collés au corps, poids et regard vers l'avant. #yoga #handstand #ekapadakoundinyasanaii #handstandtransition

I’ve been questioning myself a lot lately. Wondering if I’m going down the right path, whether I’ve been making the right decisions or choices, whether I’m good enough in my careers and relationships. It’s important to realize it’s never too late, that good things come with time, patience, and hard work, you’re never stuck in any situation, and you will always be enough whether anyone acknowledges it or not. Things might not happen now or when you want it to happen or how you want it to happen but everything will begin to unfold and come together at the right time and if it doesn’t then it was never a part of the plan or the bigger picture. The magic happens when you least expect it ✨⚡️Wanna try to post more yoga on my feed to lead up to a challenge I’m hosting in October 🙏 Open to any suggestions or upcoming challenges, tag me! 📸: @sawyerproductions 👖: @bohemian_island 🧘‍♀️: hurdlers pose//eka pada koundinyasana II #yoga #yogi #yogaeverydamnday #namaste #workout #fit #fitness #fitspo #fitgirls #motivation #inspiration #armbalance #strength #flexibility #igphotography #photography (at Venice Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0YtE5BHz-w/?igshid=1x4iig58j9tp

And one more arm balance EKA PADA KOUNDINYASANA II Pose dedicated to sage Koundiya who was one of the first disciples of Siddharta Gautama when becoming Buddha. When Buddha discovered true happiness was a balance between material and spiritual world he shared with Koundiya. Koundiya taught Buddha’s teaching for the rest of his life. #yujyogabykarina #yogaasana #dubaiyoga #yogainstructor #yogaretreat #yogaeveryday #mindfulness #bethebestversionofyourself #kindness #yogaadict #yogisoftheworld #heartofyogi #yogilifestyle #vinyasa #ashtanga #hathayoga #yogaalignment #meditation #peacefulmind #namaste #fortheloveofyoga #yogaholiday #retreats #bali #yogainbali #mydubaiyoga #holidayinbali #hathayoga #instayoga #yoga366 #peace #iloveyoga #inspiration #koundinyasana #koundinyasana2 #armbalance #sage https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4dwuhj_RN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ki8a41wkatox

Eka Pada Koundinyasana II 🍃 Sometimes you will fall (on your face), that's okay, just choose a soft spot in which to practice! Bonus points for spotting Sam 🐱 . A great way you can strengthen your arms outside of yoga is by climbing. In London we have some fantastic bouldering walls, regular climbing have helped my strength immensely! . Day 6 #EarthDayYoga2019 and consumerism 💷 practicing a different balance because fallen angel is not on my side right now! . Where possible I think it's important to but from responsible retailers who support fair living wages. Awareness is key. Buying fairtrade is also a great way to ensure farmers are paid fairly for their work. 🍋🍌🌽 . . . . . #yogauk #yoga4growth #yogatime #yogaprogress #yogis #yogabalance #yogagoals #yogainspiration #yogitoes #yogaoutdoors #yogaaday #yogavibes #gardenyoga #armbalance #yogaeverydamnday #liquidoactive #yogacats #catsofinstagram #yogadailypractice #wellness #yogaathome #challengeforacause #earthday2019 #yogatoday #charitychallenge #yogatogether #yogatoes #ekapadaurdhvadhanurasana #yogachallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwwv6KpFUXE/?igshid=3g5j35zkgyrg

Here are helpful cues to practice One-Footed Pose Dedicated to the Sage Koundinya II (Eka Pada Koundinyasana 2) correctly and safely

Begin in Adho Mukha Svanasana

Rock forward to Plank and bend the elbows, coming into Chaturanga

Place the right knee as high as possible on the right outer upper arm

Extend the sternum forward away from the navel while rolling the heads of the upper arms back and up away from the floor

Start to the straighten the right leg, pressing into the right big toe mound

Continue to reach the chest forward to balance the weight of the back leg

Leading with the left inner thigh, raise the left leg so it’s parallel to the floor

Insist on keeping the left shoulder elbow height ���this shoulder tends to collapse

Repeat on the other side
